Henri-Émile Chevalier (1828–1879) was a French writer and journalist whose work continued the adventure literature traditions established by Fenimore Cooper, Mayne Reid and Gustave Aimard. His works bring to life the world of pioneers, hunters, Indian wars and the harsh struggle for survival. The titles of his books alone convey the spirit of adventure and danger: The Captain, The Black Hunter, The Red Indian's Daughter, The Last Iroquois, The Pirate's Daughter, Redskins and Palefaces and many others. Some of his works were published after the author's death, but they remained popular among adventure fans. This volume features the novel Blackfeet, set in the 19th century in the American Northwest and Canada. Here you will meet courageous adventurers, Indian warriors, ruthless criminals and noble avengers, whose destinies intertwine in a whirlpool of events. At the center of the story is the confrontation of people, each of whom is fighting for his place in this cruel world. Palefaces fight each other, Indians defend their land, and betrayal and traps await the heroes at every step. This is a story about courage and bravery, about honor and deceit, about people forced to fight for life in a world where the law belongs to the strong and decisive.
